Chapter 156: Enter the Red Mansion Town
Bai Miaozhen glanced at the west and whispered, "The man in black is about to investigate, we'd better leave first." β
Sun Xiaoman was puzzled: "We don't need to be afraid of them, we are also here to catch the murderer." β
Ying Wuxin said: "Don't be naΓ―ve, you think they will believe it, withdraw first." β
The group quietly evacuated and hid in a poplar forest not far away, the riot in the west had gradually subsided, and the man in black searched the people present, but found no target, and immediately repelled the women.
After a scene of fear, the two dozen women returned in fear, and in a panic, they trotted all the way, and soon dispersed and disappeared.
Ying Wuxin, who was hiding in the woods, moved his ears, and said softly after a while: "Those men in black cut off the dead woman's head and took it away, and now they have also left, leaving a headless corpse." β
Li Zhengdao remembered the scene he had just seen, and said in a deep voice: "This is the truth of what we have heard, the person with the ugly mask assassinated the beautiful woman who went out at night, and then a man in black of unknown origin cut off the head of the corpse and took it away, the headless corpse will stay in place, waiting for someone to find it and report to the official, what happened to the corpse found by the heartless brother, could it be that someone deliberately threw it in the river?"
The others were silent for a while, their eyes flickering, but they couldn't make up their minds.
Ying Wuxin glanced at the direction of Red Mansion Town, to be exact, the place where the killer disappeared, and after thinking for a while, he said: "That killer gestured to us, he should know our exact identity, if he was not mistaken just now, he pointed to the Red Mansion for us, which is what it means for us to investigate." β
Bai Miaozhen said: "Could it be that the matter of Taoxi Town has spread here, and the killer also knows about us." β
"In this way, this killer may have deliberately brought us here, he should know that Daoxia will definitely investigate in the face of the agreement, and the current situation here is so evil, as long as we come and understand the situation, we will definitely pursue it, so it is very likely that the murderer left the body in the river. Li Zhengdao said solemnly: "Although those beautiful women have evil behaviors, it is also a fact that the murderer kills, we still have to distinguish clearly, and we must not be misled." β
The two women nodded at the same time, "Senior brother, we understand that we will not ignore the murderer's murderous sin just because he has exposed the evil things here. β
"Then what if we find out that these beautiful women are all monsters in the end of our investigation, and it is extremely harmful. Wang Banxian asked suspiciously.
Ying Wuxin glanced at Li Zhengdao, and said with a solemn expression: "If there is evidence that those women are endangering others, whether they themselves are demons or not, what the murderer did is justice, at least I will support it." β
Li Zhengdao's expression changed for a while, "It's always wrong to kill people, but if you kill people in order to save more innocent lives and keep them from harm, I also approve of such behavior, just like we kill hateful demons and save people's lives, provided that someone is really committing evil." β
As for the good and evil of the killer, it is still uncertain, but this time the team of five people rarely reached a consensus, which is also the best run-in since the cooperation.
"Then next, shall we go to explore the Red Mansion?" Ying Wuxin stood in the dark woods, looking at the brightly lit Red Mansion Town in front of him, his eyes slightly condensed.
Li Zhengdao nodded, "There are no other clues at present, so naturally I can only go here to investigate." β
"Plan then. β
In the middle of the night, the five of them returned to the original village, rested for two hours in the land temple at the entrance of the village, and when it was just dawn, Ying Wuxin and Li Zhengdao set off together and rushed to the town of Red Mansions, as for Sun Xiaoman and Bai Miaozhen, they took Wang Banxian to find a hidden place to hide, in order to be used as backup.
Li Zhengdao has a signal arrow on his body, which can warn at high altitude, and if he encounters an accident, he can contact the two junior sisters to come to the rescue to prevent everyone from being trapped together.
Walking to the wooden bridge at the entrance of Red Mansion Town, the sun had just risen, the bright sunlight was shining on the earth, the fields were green, the river was meandering, and the surface reflected patches of scales. Some peasants have begun to come to work early, not because they eat early, but because they don't eat breakfast, they come out at dawn to work while it is cool, and then go back to eat breakfast when the weather is hot.
The weather in this summer is too hot, there is no wind in the morning and down, in fact, it is not suitable for work at all, there is less work to do, people suffer more, it is not cost-effective at all, heat stroke, take medicine to see a doctor, it is a loss, and there are some weeding work in the field at this time, so it will be done in the morning and evening to work for a while.
The two looked at each other and smiled: "Then let's start working too." β
The two entered the town of Red Mansion together, the lanterns on both sides of the street have been extinguished, there are not many pedestrians, three or three twos, and then go a little inside, the scene is more lively, the shops and morning stalls on both sides of the street have been opened, and they are greeting guests, the white heat is rising, the people are noisy, and there is a group of fireworks.
The two of them swept around, and found that the servants who ate breakfast were basically servants in gray clothes, and there were some ordinary people, and the few people wearing silk robes were all old men, judging from their identities, they should be the servants and housekeepers of the rich businessmen and magnates who came here to live happily.
Ying Wuxin chuckled and said, "It seems that there were a lot of distinguished guests here last night, but we came here a little early, and most of them won't start until the evening." β
Li Zhengdao said with a smile: "You can go to the teahouse to listen to the book first, maybe you can hear some valuable news." β
"The headless corpse should be found soon, maybe the people of this town can really tell us something. Ying Wuxin nodded.
The two found a teahouse together, asked for some snacks, and chatted while eating, at the moment the storytelling program has not yet started, and the teahouse is temporarily a business that sells breakfast, and people come and go, and it is also quite lively.
After a while, I saw a young man in blue hurrying over, casually asked for some buns, went in with a plate, walked to a table that had already made three people, bent down and said in a low voice: "Here comes another one." β
"Last night?" said the three people at the table in shock.
The man nodded, sat down, picked up a bun and put it in his mouth, took a bite, and was about to speak, but he was burned by the hot stuffing of the bun and bared his teeth for a while, and it took him a long time to swallow it, and he lowered his voice again: "Yes, the head is gone again, and it is said that this time the murderer is mixed in the hands." β
"How do you know?"
"My girl said it. β
"Alas, this is too dangerous, it seems that in the future, my mother-in-law will not let him go out at night anymore. The other three all had sad faces.
"I can't stop it, if you can stop it, although it was mixed up last night, it is estimated that it will not be long before they will still go-" The man who ate the bun sighed helplessly.
Ying Wuxin whispered: "Brother Dao, look at these people's faces are not very good, it is obvious that the Yang Qi of the half-immortal is insufficient, and it is estimated that it was also created by the beautiful women in the family." β
Li Zhengdao nodded, "Excessive lust really hurts the body." β
